Through the next sixty years, the company integrated vertically into exploration and production of crude oil and marketing refined petroleum products and horizontally into plastics, agricultural chemicals, and real-estate development. It was restructured in 1985 as a hydrocarbons-based company, concentrating on oil, gas, coal and petrochemicals. Pioneer at the time was one of the lowest cost refiners on the West Coast and had an extensive West Coast marketing network. In 1990, total revenue exceeded $15.6 billion and net income was over $1.5 billion. Pioneer was subject to extremely volatile prices in oil. Because of this, the management of Pioneer emphasized the importance of operational and financial flexibility to respond to any price swings. Pioneer spent about $3.1 billion on capital expenditures in 1990, and the forecast for 1991 was approximately $4.5 billion...

Abstract The subject of electrical hazards analysis has been recognized by a small segment of the electrical industry for many years. The petrochemical industry and many government institutions have performed research on this subject for over twenty years. For the most part however, the electrical industry, at least at the user level, has largely ignored the subject, essentially reacting to catastrophic accidents, rather than proactively trying to predict and prevent them. Recent changes in consensus standards, along with a better general understanding of the seriousness of electrical hazards have resulted in a renewal of interest in the subject. As the awareness of electrical hazards increase many are puzzled by phrases like; “Limited”, “Restricted”, and “Prohibited Approach...

...SCARCITY SCARCITY Introduction We live in the world of scarcity. None of us can have all that we want. It is the most fundamental concept in economics. We do not and cannot have enough income or wealth to satisfy our every desire for these develop and expand with every technological advancement. The world is such that no matter how much we produce; we cannot have as much of everything desired without sacrifice. Scarcity occurs for everyone, rich and poor. In economics, this sacrifice is called opportunity cost. (chon, 2011) Humanity is demanding over greater economic productivity at a time when natural resources, the input that feeds this productivity, are dwindling. To reduce pressure on key assets, such as water, minerals, fuel and land, we must use less of them, and we need to increase the efficiency and productivity of resources that we do use, to achieve more output per input. Put simply, we must do more with less. Developing this society will require large-scale and widespread changes to how the economy functions. However, scientific, economic and social research can play an important role in reaching this goal, by determining current levels of consumption, measuring levels of efficiency, and developing new, more efficient technologies and processes. Furthermore, it can analyse different policy options and help us understand their impact on behavior and perceptions of resource use. (Brown,1995) This paper will focus on scarcity and the use of PPC to reduce scarcity...

Bihasa Professor, Foundation of Public Administration Graduate School of Management Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila Intramuros, Manila Submitted by ROGER M. TUMLOS Foundation of Public Administration May 26, 2012 I. Introduction: Reassignment of employees in the government is a common and ordinary thing. It happens in most branches of the government, more particularly in the local government units where politics plays a bigger role. We heard a lot of stories and complaints about the subject, some people simply accepted it as fate, while others challenged it in judicial and/or quasi-judicial tribunals. But, the social and cultural menace it brings in the administration of government organizations and to the parties involved is like a dreaded disease that infects the entire government service.

This is a case where a state policy that ought to protect public officers and employees were used in an abusive manner for personal aggrandizement and satisfaction of whims and caprices of superiors.

...PREFACE: To The Evaluators Of My Training Program If we look at our surroundings, all the human beings would be wearing some cloth, most of which is woven. Today the average consumption of textile products per person per year is 6.7 Kg. The world population has crossed the six billion figure, so more than 40 million tons of fabric is utilized by the mankind of world each year. Indeed both consumption per person and population are increasing at a faster pace. Consumption per person is confidently expected to increase after December 2004, as WTO would eliminate the quota costs, import duties and other such tariffs. To be competitive in the textile market, the manufacturers of this industry will have to transfer this benefit of low cost to the customers, which in turn would encourage the customers to buy more. This process would yield economies of scale for the producers and thus the textile companies will achieve enormous growth. Pakistan has competitive edge over many other countries in the textile industry, so it will more focus and capitalize on this concern. This gives a view of future prospects of opportunities in textile and importance of textile products. More specifically the shade, look, handfeel of fabric and durability of shade are the crucial factors of concern for the textile customers (these factors are expected to gain more attention of customers in future). These factors are complied in dyeing processes. Kohinoor Dyeing Mills Ltd. (KDML) is involved in the...
